Baptism

Chris and I have started a tradition (we did it twice so it is a tradition) of having our children baptized on a bonfire holiday. On New Year's Eve we had Jude baptized in Sour Lake at Our Lady of Victory. Thank you everyone for all of your prayers and support!

New Year Resolutions

So this year I have several things I would like to work on.

1. Find a house cleaning schedule that works with my family.
2. Learn how to balance mom duties (house cleaning, cooking, house management) with having fun with Chris and boys and being hospitable to family and friends.
3. Create a fruit and vegetable garden that will actually produce food for us to eat.

I have some good resources for one and two, but I am struggling to find some good local information for number three (gardening). If anyone knows of a good local blog that talks about fruit, vegetable, herb gardening please pass the link along!

Sts. Mary and Martha please pray for us! And may God's will be done in relation to all of our resolutions!

John-Paul funny-isms

This week Chris and I realized that John-Paul calls ANY book that talks about Jesus a "Bible". It is soo funny when he grabs a board book about Christmas, or Noah's Arc, or even night prayers and he calls it a Bible :0) We have tried and tried to correct him, but I guess I should be happy he has made the connection between Jesus -> Book -> Bible.

Jude

Jude was born November 9th. We have had soo much fun welcoming him to the family!
